You thought the
DreamTrooper would be the last portablized Sega
Dreamcast mod you'd ever see? Nah. Turns out some folk in China quietly showed off an Oriental take on the mod -- not too dissimilar from the form factor of the
GameBoy Advance -- just before the DreamTrooper's debut. Details are thin here, but we're hoping for a built-in optical drive and a decent battery life. If we're lucky, some
KIRF makers might pick up this idea and revive the legendary Dreamcast brand, so don't go selling your dusty game collection on eBay just yet. Go ahead and watch some
The King of Fighters action after the break. We know the Swirl
still captivates your heart.

In at least a few time zones, today is 09/09/09. Aside from being the same day that Apple
holds a keynote on the left coast, Leica
launches something and
The Beatles: Rock Band encourages gamers everywhere to call in sick, today
also marks the ten year anniversary of Sega's iconic
Dreamcast. Looking back, it's hard to believe that the always-Thinking console was only in production for two years, but even today it holds an oh-so-special place in our hearts. We still maintain that the defunct VMU could eventually be the next coming of the Tamagotchi, and there's still zero doubt that the designer of
Seaman was on copious quantities of LSD during the conception process. Any particularly touching stories as we celebrate a solid decade of The Swirl? Share 'em below -- tissues are on us.

Finally, your lovingly prepared
SNES model is getting some well-heeled new friends to hang out with.
Cubeecraft is a website wholly dedicated to the paper-based recreation of cultural icons, and it's prepared a pair of exquisitely detailed clones of the NES and Dreamcast. While some such projects might require
patience and
finesse, putting together the above templates doesn't even ask for any glue or tape. So what are you waiting for, grab your scissors and
run to the links below for full 150dpi printouts -- just be sure to make the time for some imaginary Contra action afterwards.

We'll admit, that
cheap-o Virtual On mod we peeked earlier this year was pretty stellar, but those obsessed with the anime-themed title are likely tired of using a hacked up
Xbox 360 gamepad in order to advance from stage to stage. If you've found yourself in that increasingly narrow niche,
HORI has a fine piece you should feast your eyes upon. The refreshed TwinStick EX was designed specifically for Microsoft's latest console and to be used specially with Virtual On. The result? A ¥30,000 ($325) joystick that you'll probably never quite justify the purchase of to your significant other. Get your pre-orders in early; we get the feeling these are bound to sell out.
[Thanks, Marv]
